It appears that Brandon Marshall went the unconventional route, and used his appearance on “The View” to sign a $30 Million contract extension with the Chicago Bears. The star wide receiver also pledged $1 million to fight mental illness, which is plain awesome.
Brandon took to Twitter to confirm the news and we have also confirmed the news with his publicist and the Bears. According to the Bears: it is a three-year extension, and with the extension he is now signed through 2017.
